Have you ever wondered if you can get acupuncture if you can't lay down?

Yes, like this!

✨ Big news! ✨

It’s official — my last day in Leduc will be Friday, July 18, and my last day in Wetaskiwin will be Saturday, July 19.

To my incredible clients: you’ve been nothing short of amazing. 💛 I’ve been so lucky to work with (and laugh with!) all of you, and I’m truly going to miss this chapter.

But… new adventures await! 🌊

Starting this September, you’ll find me at:

➡️ Saturdays at Woodgrove Pines Clinic in Nanaimo
➡️ Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays bringing my mobile acupuncture practice to the beautiful Gabriola Island

I couldn’t be more excited to meet my new communities and keep doing what I love in these stunning places.

Thank you, Leduc & Wetaskiwin, for everything — and hello, Nanaimo & Gabriola, I can’t wait to meet you!

💼✈️

This is such a great resource!

Are you currently in need of counselling support, but cannot afford it?

Spaces open now for our summer pro bono program! Counselling sessions will be booked with one of our graduate practicum counsellors. Clients will receive 10 pro bono sessions, which must be used before August 25, 2025.

The intention of this program is to provide an opportunity for adult (18 and over) clients who are available and interested in having 10 weekly (or near-weekly) sessions in order to focus on some specific goals that can be attainable with regular counselling sessions.

Click here to learn more about the program and the specific start times available, and to apply (this program is barrier-free; anyone can apply).

*Note that our winter program was filled within a couple days. Once full, we will offer a waitlist for openings in September.
